Control System Considerations Warehouse Control System (WCS) A Warehouse Control System is used to control the automated hardware in your warehouse so that sorting, routing, stacking, destacking, labeling and other functions perform per your specifications. Additionally, the WCS will gather and compile key metrics and data. It acts as the middleman between enterprise software that is running in the facility (WMS, WES or ERP) and the equipment such as a MESH Robotic Palletizer, AMR fleet, print and apply labelers, AS/RS, sorters, bar code tunnels, pallet destackers, and other equipment. MESH has expertise in the design and implementation of WCS systems and has developed custom interfaces to many WMS/WES systems.
